MANUEL P. COBREA, JR., KALAWAO, 'IYE RRITORY OF' rreonn TOY.

Application filed January This invention contemplates the provision of a game apparatus embodying a structure and means by which the sport known as prizeifighting may be enjoyediby twoplayers or participants, the structure and manner of use permitting the well known rules of such sport to be followed.

More specifically stated, the invention contemplates the use of an arena in which are arranged figures representing pugilists, and a novel construction of means for determining the points by roun'dswon by the respective participants.

The nature and advantages ot the invention will be better understood when the tollowing detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings,

the invention residing in the construction, combinatlon and arrangement 0t parts as 2 claimed.

trated in Figure 1 ot' the drawings. This.

arena includes a board or playing surface 10 from appropriate points oi which r-ise standards 11 to which are secured the ropes 12. It is of course understood thatthis structure may vary in size and also constructed from anysuitable material without departing from the inventive idea. Adapted to be arranged within the arena are figures 13 representing pugilists, and these figures are supported in positions. facing each other with their arms arranged in fighting positions. \Vhile any suitable means may be employed for supporting these figures 13 in the mannershown and described, I preferably employ a disk 14 adapted to be attached to the playing board 10 centrally of the arena, while projecting from this disk at diametrically opposite points are brackets which are preferably constructed from wire. Each bracket includes a horizontal portion 15 and a vertical per- 13, 1926. Serial No. 81,063.

tion 16, the latter being passedthroughan opening formed in the adjacent figure -13 to support the latter in the manner clearly shown inFigure 2. These figures. areivpreterablyl'iormed from a single piece of .material, and each figure is provided with an element 17 ot the character shown in Figure 8, whichrepresent-s a pairot trunks or .togs, the element 17 onone figure beingsdistinguished in color tronithe element worn'by the other figure. This element 17 is formed vfrom a single piece of material of the out lino shown, and is formed 'with resilient clips 18 projecting from the opposite longitudinal sides thereof, and which clips are adaptedto be snapped over. the hips and legs of the particular figural?) with which said element associated.

That .portion of the hoardlying beyond the roped arenais utilized as, a playmgsurlace, and supports a plurality of indicators employed to record the roundswon bythe :respe'ctive participants, andalso to record the ,number 0t rounds, fought, and those rounds fought 'toa draw. zIn other words,

at each side of theboard there areytwo of these indicators represented at 19 and 20, re-

spectively, theindicator 19 being used for the participant wearingone colored togs, while the indicator 20ris used for the. other. participant- F or instance, as shown in ,-Figure 1,

the indicator 19, is designated blue to cor-respond in color with the togs worn by one. of

.theparticipants, while the indicator 20 is designated white to correspond with the colored togs wornby the other participant. Each indicator is provided with numerals 21 anda pointer or indicator linger 22. Ar-

ranged at oneside of the board is a similar indicator represented at 23 which is employed to record the round or rounds fought to a draw, this being determined by the points wonby each participant during any particular round, and which points are recorded or calculated in a manner to be presently described. On the other side of the board is anadditional indicator 24: of the same construction as the other indicators above referred to and winch isused to record the rounds as they are completed.

The means employed for determining the points of the game by rounds consists of spaced columns of numerals indicated at 25 and indicia arranged adjacent each numeral, which indicia is in the nature of a direction given by blows and different movements,

The receptacle 26 is adapted to receive a 'plurality'of dice 27, which, when thrown from the receptacle, are read, and the number obtained therefrom found on the playing surface in one oi the columns 25 in order to obtain the particular point scored by one of the part icipants.

The game is played as. follows:

Manit stly, the game is limited to two players, and after the latter have selected one otthe participants '13, which are dis tinguished from each other by the color of the togs l7, they roll the dice for high number to determine which one is to have first use of the dice. The game is started by the particular player rolling the dice from the receptacle 17, and subsequently reading the numbers on the upper sides thereof, there being preferably three dice used with the game. For instance, it the number read on the dice is 111, this particular number is located in one of the columns and alongside the number appears one of the points of the game. In other words, it the player using the dice has chosen the participant designated by the white togs, should roll this number 111, by referring to the playing surface 10 it would. be found that the participant representing said player has floored his opponent. Again, it the player with the color blue should roll the dice, and reads therefrom the number 112, by locating this number on the playing surface it will be noted that blue rushes to meet his opponent.-

No matter how the dice fall from the receptacle 26, the numbers are read in consecutive order, the dice with the lowest number, of course, being taken first, and the other two in proper order, so that if the numbers 2- l and 4 would appear on the upper surface ot the dice, it would be read 134. The indicia on the playing surface adjacent the numbers in the various columns 25 include every point o'li play known to the particular sport of prize lighting, and the various rounds are conn'nited by time, three minutes to a round. in other words, each participanthas use of the dice for three minutes, after which he turns the dice over to the other participant, and the points scored by the respective participants during each three minutes deter mine the winner o'l' the particular round. Fihould the player with the color blue win the first round, the pointer 22 ot the indicator 19 would be moved to 1. If, on the olher hand, the round was won by the player represented by white, the pointer of the in dicutor 20 would be accordingly moved to numeral thereon. Should the round terminate in a draw, the pointer 26 oi the indicator 23 would be moved to 1. Then, as each round is completed, the pointer on the indicator 24lwould be moved in clockwise direct-ion to keep a record of the number of rounds fought. Of course, the num ber oli rounds to be fought would be determined betore the play started. v

\Vhile it is believed that from the foregoing description the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself to what is herein shown and described, and that such changes may be resorted to when desired as tall within the scope ot what is claimed.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is:

1. In a toy device, an arena including a. base, a substantially U-shaped bracket reposing upon the base, said bracket having an. eye termed centrally thereof, a fastening element passed through the eye for securing the bracket to the base, figures supported upon and between the vertical parallel portions o'li said bracket and representing nrgilists, said figures having openings for the reception of said parallel portions of the bracket, whereby said figures can be quickly attached. to or removed from the bracket, and means to r distinguishing one figure from the other.

2. In a toy'device, an arena including a base, a substantially U-shaped bracket se cured to the center thereof, figures supported upon and arranged between the vertical parallel. portions of the bracket and. representing pugilists, each figure being formed from a flat piece of material, and. a blank of material representing a pair of: togs for each figure, and adapted to be attached to the latter.
